| Comments |
Nörenberg — now Ińsko, in northwestern Poland — was a small Pomeranian market town issuing notgeld like hundreds of other German municipalities during the hyperinflationary spiral of the early Weimar years. The Magistrat authorized these small-denomination emergency notes because coin shortages had become genuinely paralyzing at the retail level; a 5 Pfennig piece was more useful in daily commerce than anything the Reichsbank could reliably supply.
Ratsdruckerei R. Dulce in Glauchau handled a substantial volume of municipal notgeld contracts across Saxony and beyond — a workaday provincial printer suddenly doing the work of a currency authority.
